A minor was indicted for “intentional homicide” as part of the investigation into the murder of a sixty-year-old woman killed at her home in Lille on Wednesday, we learned on Saturday from the prosecution. The accused, an “unaccompanied minor”, was placed in pre-trial detention, said public prosecutor Carole Etienne. “Investigations relating to his identity are still underway,” she specifies.
The victim is a 68-year-old nurse
Arrested during the night from Wednesday to Thursday, this 17-year-old young man, of Ivorian nationality, “said very little about the facts”, according to a source close to the investigation. The victim is a 68-year-old retired nurse, according to the same source. The events took place on Wednesday in the Bois-Blancs district.
A police source reported Thursday that the police had been alerted by a neighbor of the victim, who had heard screams, and found herself face to face with the attacker. On site, the police found the victim with his lower body naked and his throat cut, this source said.
